AXIS Q17 Front Window Kit B

Elevate the protection and longevity of your AXIS surveillance setup with the AXIS Q17 Front Window Kit B. This rugged, IK10-rated polycarbonate front window is engineered to shield the camera optics from impact, debris, and environmental hazards while preserving the integrity and clarity of the captured image. Precisely designed for seamless integration with AXIS Q1785-LE and AXIS Q1786-LE Network Cameras, it offers robust defense without compromising performance. While it delivers exceptional durability, it is not recommended for installations that require more than 22x optical zoom, so plan your zoom configuration accordingly to maximize protection without affecting image quality. Whether deployed in outdoor environments, high-traffic facilities, or demanding indoor spaces, the Q17 Front Window Kit B helps extend camera life and maintain consistent surveillance coverage.

• IK10-rated polycarbonate front window delivers superior impact resistance, standing up to vandalism attempts, blunt impacts, and harsh environmental exposure. The durable material stays clear over time, reducing maintenance downtime and preserving optical performance for critical security tasks.
• Designed for AXIS Q1785-LE and AXIS Q1786-LE Network Cameras, ensuring a precise fit and seamless integration with existing housings and mounting systems. This compatibility minimizes installation complexity and helps maintain the camera’s protective seal against dust and moisture.
• Maintains image clarity and minimizes optical distortion while offering rugged protection. The front window is engineered to preserve light transmission and reduce glare or reflections, helping security operators detect details such as faces and license plates under varied lighting conditions.
• Not recommended for installations requiring more than 22x optical zoom. This guideline helps prevent potential optical interference at high magnifications and ensures the protective layer does not compromise focal alignment or image geometry.
• Easy retrofit design supports quick upgrades or replacements with minimal downtime. The kit is optimized for straightforward installation on compatible Q1785-LE and Q1786-LE systems, enabling reliable protection without extensive downtime or system rewiring.
